BLACK COW OF DOWNTOWN HAMILTON WELCOMES NEW HEAD CHEF
HAMILTON, MA – Black Cow Tap & Grill restaurants is pleased to announce that William Fogarty has come on board as Head Chef at Black Cow of downtown Hamilton.
“Black Cow is a great fit for my culinary philosophy,” explained Fogarty, a graduate of Johnson and Wales University. “I feel that as a chef, I have a responsibility to the community to not only take care of our customers, but to work with local farmers, growers, suppliers, and fisherman. By supporting the community, you grow stronger together. It’s a win-win situation.”
Known for utilizing regional seafood, meats, and poultry and fresh local produce and baked goods, Black Cow of Hamilton combines contemporary charm with the warmth of a historic New England public house. “This restaurant is already so well-known for its high quality food and beautiful interior architecture,” noted Fogarty. “I’m just here to help continue to strive for everyday excellence,” he added.
Fogarty has plans to add some delicious new items to the menu, starting with fire-grilled pizza specials from the restaurant’s newly installed pizza oven. “I like to play with simple, classic dishes that showcase ingredients with a modern twist,” he said. “I love creating dishes that are unique, but approachable – something that diners can get excited about that will meet their diverse tastes and exceed their expectations.”
“We are proud to have Bill come on board as a member of our team,” said Joe Leone, founder and owner of Black Cow. “His culinary expertise, his contemporary innovation, his interest in the community – it all truly goes hand in hand with what Black Cow is all about. Our patrons are in for a real treat!”
“I really love doing what I do,” Fogarty noted. “This is a great community, a great location, and a wonderful opportunity. I feel lucky to be part of such a friendly and knowledgeable staff.”
